As a manager, it’s your job to ensure that your employees are clear on what their goals are throughout the year and what they need to do to accomplish them. Yet so many companies and leaders view the performance appraisal process as a mandatory paper chase, a mere form they need to fill out, rather than as an opportunity to create true engagement with their people and inspire career-making results.
2600 Phrases for Setting Effective Performance Goals gives you the language you need to establish compelling, actionable performance goals. More than just a list of descriptive phrases, the book provides wisdom and guidance on how to lead your team more effectively and inspire those around you to reach higher levels of individual performance and achievement. This uniquely practical guide provides you with the insightful strategies you need to accomplish more through others, serve as an effective career mentor and coach, and help your company stand out from the competition. You’ll learn how to:
- Build on individuals’ strengths rather than compensating for their weaknesses.
- Help your staffers feel engaged and self-motivated.
- Develop an “accomplishment mentality” that encourages your employees to continuously reinvent themselves in light of your organization’s changing needs.
- Encourage retention of high performers by developing a realistic and customized set of goals that will help them prepare for their next move in career progression.
- Determine appropriate follow-up intervals and measurable benchmarks to determine progress throughout the year.
The book provides you with ready-to-use phrases organized by the core competencies used most often in the appraisal process, from attendance and attitude to communication and time management. In addition, the book includes language tailored to many of the most common positions in sales and marketing, accounting and finance, HR, IT, legal, manufacturing, operations, and more.
You’re never truly successful unless your employees are as well. This one-of-a-kind guidebook enables you to get more done through others and develop your own outstanding leadership abilities.

If you’re an executive, manager, or team leader, one of your toughest responsibilities is managing your people’s performance. How do you appraise just how well a direct report has carried out her job? What do you do if informal coaching fails to improve mediocre performance?
In “How to be Good at Performance Appraisals” Dick Grote provides a concise, hands-on guide to succeeding at every task required by your company’s performance appraisal and management process. Through step-by-step instructions, examples, sample dialogues, and suggested scripts, he shows you how to handle appraisal activities ranging from setting goals, defining job responsibilities, and coaching to providing recognition, assessing performance and discussing it with employees, and creating development plans.
Grote also explains how to tackle other performance management activities your company requires, such as determining compensation, developing and retaining star performers, and solving people problems.
This book is so accessible and practical that you won’t just read it once and put it away. Instead, you’ll be sure to keep it within arm’s reach, referring to particular chapters each time you face a performance management task.

How do you light a fire under every employee? Brian Tracy, the Master of Motivation, shows how!
In these tough economic times, everyone is expected to produce more with less. And yet, studies have shown that on average, employees are working at only a fraction of their potential. What are managers to do? How can they inspire their people to perform at their absolute best?
Whatever the situation, a good manager can quickly organize a group of average performers into a high-functioning team capable of achieving tremendous results for the company. The secret is knowing how—and anyone can learn.
In Full Engagement!, business success expert Brian Tracy shows managers how they can supercharge their employees’ efforts.
Packed with powerful, practical ideas and strategies, this eye-opening guide explains how to:
-
Unlock the potential of each person
-
Motivate and inspire employees to peak performance
-
Trigger the “X Factor” that maximizes productivity
-
Drive out the fears that hold people back
-
Create a high-trust work environment
-
Set clear goals and objectives
-
Recognize, reward, and reinforce in a way that energizes every employee
A manager’s role is to achieve the highest possible return on the physical, emotional, and mental effort that his or her people put forth. It’s not a return on investment…it’s a return on energy. And when managers fail at that, they fail at their own job.
With this essential guide, all managers can now hold the keys to unlocking superstar performance from their teams

In every company there are employees who are star workers, some who barely scrape by—and then there are those with true potential that’s just waiting to be tapped.

Filled with Fortune 500 examples and backed by measurable results this proven system will help you lead your teams to quick, effective, and continually-growing success.
